Strike Alex with a Ball | Full Task | Taskmaster

[@EngineerLume]

I love how much of Guz's attempt was shown through his face cam, it made it that much more manic

[@laurenzmoore3013]

At 5:13, you can see Alex peeking out of the front door of the house only to see Guz screaming his name in the caravan, and then casually slide back in. Best shot of the task lol.

[@steampunknord]

I didn't even notice. That is great. He has to have known he might be on the camera.

the weirdest part of that is the odd face-cam angle and lighting made it look like she had sharp goblin teeth for a second when she said that

[@Fucisko]

For me it was the dog task when she was reading the instructions and screamed "MOST ENGAGED DOG WINS!!!!!"

[@westy1637]

Guz reminded me of putting a GoPro on a dog and letting it loose. Those manic, excited eyes darting back and forth. The sudden stillness followed by the rapid movement towards any sound. Brilliant.

One of the things I love about this task is it almost immediately lets us get a good insight into each contestant's personality.

I love that later in Taskmaster history Alex created tasks that were basically him enacting revenge on candidates (score a goal and so on) where he can outwit them in real time =).

[@darthplagueis13]

The thing that amazes me about this is that Désirée figured out that Alex was getting the video feed from the camera, but didn't think to sabotage it (which wouldn't have been against the rules) by simply covering it up.

[@scotthadden9816]

Just a thought... challenge never specified you couldn't block the camera, thus taking the ONLY advantage Alex has away.

[@sillyking1991]

they specified at the beginning that the contestants didn't neccisarily know that alex could see their personal cameras

[@scotthadden9816]

@@sillyking1991 It's not that hard to intuit. You have to find a person, and you have a camera showing your perspective, it stands to reason that camera shows the person you have to find your perspective.

@@scotthadden9816 Its a shame Hugh wasn't on this, as that would've been the first thing he did.

[@SirDistic]

@@scotthadden9816 But without knowing that Alex could see them it's just another of the many cameras they wear or see filming them throughout the show. So they are actors and actors don't mess with a camera. Multiple angles and all. Your comment seems obvious from our perspective, I thought the same thing. But as an actor they are used to wearing cameras and mics all the time. So messing with it or covering it isn't something that would occur to them unless they knew that Alex was able to get an advantage. Even seeing Alex with his cameras and phone wouldn't seem out of the ordinary for them.

[@kassistwisted]

I'm guessing that, as entertainment professionals, they have too much inherent respect for cameras to tamper with them. I mean, these people are all on TV a lot where there are more cameras than you realise sitting in the audience. Someone clipped a camera on them at the beginning of the task, and I think they'd no more take it off or cover it than they would remove their microphone pack. It's part of the equipment necesssary to make the show. And in some cases, tampering with a camera would mean you'd have to do the shot all over again. I'm guessing it's that mindset that Alex exploited. He knew they'd never tamper with their cameras.

[@darer7158]

This task is legendary to me because it kicked off what would become my favourite season of taskmaster. I was falling off my chair with laughter, HYSTERICAL

[@jackybraun2705]

Desirée was the only one who twigged that Alex could see what her camera was seeing. Why was that not given any recognition?

[@JLF201]

5:28 I don't know why that hits me so hard, but I had a great laugh over it.

[@parasaurlolphusxd1440]

It’s the angle and how wide his eyes seem that does it for me. It’s so perfect.

[@bev6713]

I'd argue that actively and intentionally moving out someones sight is indeed hiding.

[@samflynn97]

Obviously they just meant that he shouldn't overdo it, like using a cupboard or blankets, nor climb up the attic.

[@lhfirex]

Yeah, they meant hiding as in concealing himself in a location. And the task wording lets you know he's going to move since it says "Alex may not run."

[@patpat8727]

If I had a nickel for every series that was won on the basis of a single bonus point, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

[@RickeGnool]

I know there is controversy surrounding the fact that Morgana won the series by just that ''Little fu*cker point'' over Guz. But I personally am fine with it since I think Guz was overscored in some tasks, best example is the ''Paint the space hopper green'' task which he got 4 points for which is insane to me.
